'Tis that time to put on the green and celebrate the start of spring! I always feel that when St. Patrick's Day arrives, spring is just around the corner. The trees start budding with new leaves, and the tulips are starting to sprout from the ground. I feel that this time of year is like a new beginning, that the world is starting fresh and being full of life. May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we will know them by their limping. ~* Legend of St. Patrick *~ Good St. Patrick travelled far, to teach God's Holy Word And when he came to Erin's sod, a wondrous thing occurred He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in His hand To symbolise the Trinity that all might understand The first leaf for the Father And the second for the Son The third leaf for the Holy Spirit All three of them in one. There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle 'Twas Saint Patrick himself sure that set it And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile And a tear from his eyes oft-times wet it It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland
